Issues
Earl Major Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Look yeah we all got our issues
Funny twisted that's not what the magazines issued
Regardless I'm just a producer turned singer
Look I'm just artist

Perfect like a rose we all got something missing
Bleeding from my nose I really shouldn't have stepped in
Between you and your man wish he treated you different
Nice guy finish last guess I'll see you at the finish
Huh now I'm staring at your ceiling
Got your makeup off now there's no more concealing
Deep inside your mind I know you're feeling different
Guess why I'm alive to provide you what you're missing

And she asked
Would you hold me
Would you be there when I'm lonely
I said girl when you got me
There's no reason left to worry

Til death do we part
Girl you knew the answer to that from the start
Too many questions I haven't got answers
You who I'm blessed with I'm done with them dancers

Then she asked
You ever want someone to hold you
Be there till the end well that's just why I chose you
Perfect like a rose we all got something missing
I was bleeding from my heart until you came and patched it
Huh I know we drive each other bat shit
Crazy that now I'm calling you baby
Look I know I'll love you till I'm 80
Then I'll take my pills and hope to love another day see

And she asked
Would you hold me
Would you be there when I'm lonely
I said girl when you got me
There's no reason left to worry

Til death do we part
Girl you knew the answer to that from the start




Too many questions I haven't got answers
You who I'm blessed with done with them dancers
